Rek'sai needs a rework

sdsdfdf··2 votes·772 views

I know, she is quite a new champion, but her design is one of the unhealthiest in the game. Thematically, she is supposed to be this underground assassin that comes out of the ground and eats your ass, but in game she is just a knock up bot. That's it. Press W. This way she is either gonna be decent in SoloQ and pick-or-ban in competitive, or trash in SoloQ and competitive. Her underground Q should have a bonus AD ratio, her W should have its knock up removed but have some new effect that fits with her assassin-like theme, her underground E should be faster and more fluid while making Rek'sai untargetable while in the tunnel, her normal Q and E need some tweaks and then her ult passive attackspeed needs to be removed in favor of something else. This is just a suggestion, im pretty sure if Riot reworks her it would be in a different way but you can't deny the truth. She is unhealthy, her theme doesn't fit her gameplay and she needs a rework. RITO PLS

EDIT: No part of her kit says asssassin, but her theme does. Also competitive makes her unhealthy, so Riot has to make her bad in normal play.

She isn't designed to be an assassin. No part of her kit even says assassin. She is meant to be a tanky engage jungler with excellent map presence due to her tremor sense and ult.

Not sure if you know but she was intended to be a damage dealer but after a bunch of nerfs to her damage she was then used as a tank instead of a damage dealer because well she doesn't do damage anymore ALSO she's getting changed back to a damage dealer Link to forum about Riot Meddlers reply

Hence why I said tanky as in a bruiser. A bruiser is very different from an assassin.

Also how in the world did you end up in a 5 month old post?

Edit: Especially why is this your first post ever?

But an ad heavy diver that goes for the backline is practically an assassin considering Riven is an Ad heavy diver that goes for back line and is also considered an assassin so following that pattern Rek'sai should be classified as an assassin at least as a secondary I ended up here after finding out rek'sai was getting reworked and trying to research the topic more this popped up (Dunno do you have anything against posting for the first time ever?)

Riven is a secondary assassin and that is by the old class system. Reksai falls under Diver or Vanguard depending on how tanky you build her (and I don't think she was ever meant to be full damage but rather 1-2 damage items into tank)

Divers fall under fighter class, not assassin and Vanguard falls under tank class.

An assassin is someone who goes in to 100-0 their target and then has some way to make an escape. Reksai is a diver at most since she only has one mobility spell other than ult which is very delayed, has specific requirements, and can be canceled by hard cc making it a very weak escape tool in combat. She also does not have the burst for an assassination, and rather does sustained damage.

(Nothing against first time posters, It is just rare to see them, especially on old posts. We all have to make our first post at some point right? ;P)

She's not am assassin though? She's supposed to be a fighter that helps her team find prey and take it out. She's objective based, and has area of affect damage, which makes her more suited to a fighter role, and her Q isn't used for it's damage; is used to directly find the target.

Do you actually know what "unhealthy" means in terms of gameplay?

She's a fighter so there goes your whole argument. Also just learn to play the character. Not every fighter plays the same.
